if i recall,
@king_kong_ was the first to be outspoken in support of starting HH over Sims.
then HH single-handedly breathed life back into an 0-2 team. posters got pissy when he pointed it out, and doubled down that HH isn't very good.
the problem is a lot of people evaluate teams like its Madden where individual players have numeric ratings. guys like HH have intangibles that create a force greater than the sum of its parts. most people who played an organized sport would know that, so its childish when people simply read off a HH stat-line and claim he was equal to Sims or Purdy.
